There’s a storm acomin’

When I got the alert earlier today and promptly ignored it. These things usually don’t apply to me, nor do I ever get witness them. It took me a long time to realize the flashes of light I was seeing was lightning.

* AT 910 PM PDT…DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A LARGE CLUSTER OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ANTELOPE VALLEY…SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS…AND SAN GABRIEL VALLEY. THESE STORMS HAVE A HISTORY OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING…AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SOUTH AND WEST. SIGNIFICANT ROADWAY FLOODING IS EXPECTED. IN ADDITION…MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS THE BIG HORN AND SANTA ANITA BURN AREAS.

I’m moving inside after I put away the bikes and electronics, it doesn’t seem like the people setting off fireworks are too concerned.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You’re welcome to it. We sent that to you from up here in Las Vegas (well, a smattering from Arizona, too). Woke up to thunder so loud last night I thought we were under attack. A very unsettled weather system indeed.

Nothing happened! After I got everything inside, I decided to stay out a bit and enjoy the breezes. About an hour after posting this, the sky started to rumble and rumble…and rumble. No more lightning, just a lot of noise. I went inside around midnight and not a drop of rain touched down over here.
